Kony 2012 sparked an viral frenzy, controversy - and now Congressional action.

Reps. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) and Ed Royce (R-Calif.) introduced a bipartisan resolution spotlighting the Ugandan war lord and his Lord's Resistance Army this week, calling for stepped-up efforts to expand regional forces to "protect citizens and pursue LRA commanders," as well as expanding telecommunications infrastructure in the region.

The two proposed similar legislation last year, which passed, making it American policy to apprehend Kony and his top commanders from battlefields.

Shortly after it was approved, President Obama dispatched 100 troops to act "as advisers" to Ugandan army forces to find Kony, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

This legislation, the Reps. hope, will add additional force in the search for brutal war lord.
